ZIP Code 53223

ZIP code 53223 sits in Milwaukee with a median household income of $60,839 and per-capita income of $33,938, placing it in working- to middle-income territory rather than among the city's wealthier areas. Homes here carry a median value of $203,100, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.93% means owners pay a meaningful share of that value each year in taxes. Add a combined sales tax rate of 7.90%, and everyday purchases carry a noticeable premium. Together these figures describe a community where incomes are steady but not high, and where property and sales taxes take a real bite out of household earnings.
